Re: unable to boot the tru64 unix server from the SRM prompt

Hi,

Can you post as much detail about the hardware as you can please... The output of "show dev" from the P00>>> prompt would be useful.

Going through the previous posts, I suspect that you are not booting from the correct disk. If you have got a SWXCR card, then I'll guess that your boot device should be a DR* device rather than DK*.

The output of "show boot*" would also help.

Cheers,

Rob

And output of:
>>> show *
would also help

Dear Vladimir Fabecic,

Thanks for the reply.

As i concerned no one plays with the server after it goes down.

And today we got the right media V5.1

and df command shows the cd partition and the new / partition nothiong esle.

As we have sysbackup...

please give the steps to perform the restoration and how to install it.

So you have 7 disks connected to "normal" SCSI controller and 2 disk connected to SWXCR.
Now I am a little bit confused.
Please boot from install CD and send output of:
# hwmgr -view device
It is very important to see which disk is mapped as dsk0
I will have not much time today so please hurry.

And please send output of:
# disklabel -r dsk1

In vino veritas, in VMS cluster

Looks like your "old root" should be dsk1a not dsk0a. Waiting for your reply.
Procedure:
1.
# cd /etc/fdmns
# mkdir tmproot
# cd tmproot
# ln -s /dev/disk/dsk1a
# cd /
# mount tmproot#root /mnt
Send output of:
# ls -al /mnt
2.
# dn_setup -install_tape
Send output of:
# hwmgr -show scsi
3.
Restoring file system backup tape
(lets say that "old root" is already mounted in /mnt)
# cd /mnt
# vrestore -x -f /dev/ntape/tape0 (or whatever is tape device)

But you must be sure you have the right save set loaded in tape drive.
To check out do:
# vrestore -i -f /dev/ntape/tape0
and do "ls" when get prompt
